For some reason, the srctextwin has not drawn itself. It could be a bug in
Insight or a bug in Tcl. I would start Insight withe environment varialble
GDBTK_DEBUG set (to two) in your environment. Of course, I don't know if
such a thing exists on the original version of windows, so you may have to
edit your gdbtk.ini. There is a section labeled "windows" with the
property "active={list of windows to open when started". Add "DebugWin".
This will automatically bring up the DebugWindow when you start Insight.
Maybe that will provide some insight into your problem. (Ok, I couildn't
resist that one. :-)

Unfortunately, a whole lot has changed since then. There is almost no way
of knowing what broke it.

Let us know if the DebugWin shows any errors...
